Coral kits-
Quincy kits-
Ended up moving Quincy n kits as well as the 3hole today.
Look at all that room in the middle! From hardly being able to move without running into something, to now you could dance in there!
Will wiggle and shove until the last two 3hole stackers get in there...
*phew*
3hrs of fiddling around, failures n getting covered in unknowns, moved some supplies, 8 rabbits & their cages!
One 3hole and the cull cage can move next, but the others have fresh kits in nests, so I'll leave them put until they're out of them.
Walkway
One on the right will move next...
Moved all the deck boards to be the walkway. Also moved all the 2×4s to keep close by. Going to see what water troughs and cages I can start moving over. And have a new roll of 330ft fencing I'll enclose the bun n chicken area, as the sheep are highly annoying, cattle also, messy, destructive...
Quincy had 8 kits, looks like all lilac?
Otter, booted, solid and broken!
So, Goliath seems to have a gene to help make booted, as I haven't had any with other bucks!
Rotation for worm prevention or just more equal grazing of land?
Worms, they shouldn't come back to the same spot for 60-90 days. If you're moving every 3 days, that's 20 zones for 60 days and 30 for 90 days. 12 for 5 days, 60 days total or 18 for 5 days and 90 days total.
Cut the big pasture...
Pups will escape cattle panels. Need to secure it so they can't cross it, 2-3ft high.
Moms need to be dewormed before birth, pups dewormed every 2wks.
What to vaccinate might depend on location.
Don't use the cheap glass Chick heater bulbs, even ceramic isn't great. Primer1 makes a plastic one...
Ewes Mimosa, Clefairy, Flim-Flam & unnamed have gone to their new home!
There's 7 left in the current sale pasture.
30 in the winter pasture, with 10-15 of them that must sell!
The 7 waiting for buyers.
